In total the supermarket will donate £100,000 of food to local holiday clubs across the country this summer, according to Morrisons.

Morrisons said it already gives surplus food to local causes, such as food banks, through its unsold food programme.

Morrison’s in-store food bank ‘Pick Up Pack’ scheme also allows customers to purchase a bag of a mix food products, which are distributed to food banks and community organisations.
